My Junior is 6 years old and I need to do this but haven’t yet.
Is it a big hassle. Do you have to take the child to one of their doctors?

I soooo need to do this! I have been procrastenating on it so bad and I could actually use the help! I do not know what my problem is. Afraid of rejection? My Junior and Noddy both qualify.

I just really did not care for the “Labor” part, other than getting it over with. I was not a fan of being pregnant. Yet, that was the only way to have the baby. LOL. I hope it happens soon and all is well.

Dawn, I have a whole host of reasons – but the biggest is their consistent portrayal of autism as a fate worse than death, especially seen in the film they sponsored, Autism Every Day. Here‘s Wikipedia on it, I prefer not to link to them.

They sponsor a ‘cure at any cost’ mentality, and are encouraging research that will inevitably lead to the aborting of children carrying the gene(s) for autism. Their ceaseless negativity about autism and living with autistic people will cause many mothers and fathers to kill their autistic children, much as 9 out of 10 Down children are aborted. (And Down Syndrome has a pretty positive media stereotype as they are generally portrayed as happy, kind people who are cognitively impaired.) Autism Speaks on the other hand is encouraging the world to think of autism as something tragic a child suffers from, that takes the real child away and leaves an empty shell of anger, idiocy and aggression.
